Transcode outputs AVI files by default (and currently doesn't know how to output MPEG files at all), so giving the file a .mpg extension won't accomplish much. You can try encoding the video as a raw MPEG-2 video stream and see if your DVD player can read that: transcode -i x.dv -x dv,null -o x.mpg -y ffmpeg,null -F mpeg2video \ --encode_fields p --frame_interval 400 --export_asr 2 (The final --export_asr option is to specify a standard 4:3 aspect ratio; if your camera is 16:9, use --export_asr 3 instead.) If that doesn't work, try renaming x.mpg to x.m2v and running the following command: mplex -f8 -o x.mpg x.m2v (mplex is from the mjpegtools package, and multiplexes raw video/audio streams into an MPEG program stream, like the .vob files found on DVDs.) --Andrew Church [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://achurch.org/
